How long can you hold your breath?

Heart rates are very subjective. For example, my sitting heart rate is about 60. After sprinting for a minute, it jumps all the way to about 220. Then after a minute of resting, it comes back down to normal.

Around 50 seconds is the longest I've gone, IIRC.

+: I do hot yoga about twice a week. It really helps with breathing (and other stuff) in general. Also, I've never touched tobacco in my life.
-: I'm 31 years old, 5'5" and 225.

Result: 01:17.6.

I think there's some discrepancy between people who hyperventilate before holding their breath and those who don't. If you hyperventilate, your blood CO2 level drops like a stone, and it's a high blood CO2 concentration that stimulates your urge to breathe. Take a few (~8-10) quick but deep breaths before you hold your breath and your time will go up by quite a lot.

1:03 without hyperventilation for me, 1:22 with. But I'm not that physically fit.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily condone or advise recreational hyperventilation, and if you stroke out or something, it's not my fault.

Serious advice now: No-one likes indecision in their work, so find what you like that you're even remotely good at, and stick with it. Don't flit from one thing to another, because that just smacks of a large lack of determination and drive. And people don't like you for that, and won't remember you for it. I mean, I get that you have a plucky spirit and a willingness to try new things, but there's a limit, man.

I might knock it down to just Thursday and Friday.

1:20 and I'm a smoker, and fairly unhealthy. Actually quite impressed.

I got 1:10...Better than I thought it would be but I could probably go for longer since I only stopped due to it becoming uncomfortable.
